About Paxos and Its Future at Binance;
The firm behind the stablecoin is also known as Paxos
and plans to modernize finance by digitizing assets to
solve existing settlement risks associated with
traditional methods. Paxos is the first regulated Trust
Company with blockchain expertise.
The PAX stablecoin is backed 1:1 by US dollars held
in FDIC-insured US banks. Constant auditing assures
that the bank balances match the supply in the crypto
markets.
Charles Cascarilla, Paxos co-founder and CEO, had this
to say about the new development at Binance:
"Demand for PAX has grown very quickly since we
launched just over two months ago, making it clear
that traders want a stable, regulated and transparent
stablecoin."
Binance is responding to this demand by giving
traders the ease of PAX-denominated trading. We
believe this will help bring greater confidence and
stability to crypto markets at large.
